PROVIDING SECURE DATA STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17662093 titled 'PROVIDING SECURE DATA STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer technology that combines an encryption/decryption key with additional information to create a specialized key, thereby enhancing the security of encrypted data.
- The additional information can include client UUID, FQDN, database hardware information, data physical position on the hard disk, and/or stored data creation date.
- By combining the basic key with this operational and identifier information, the security of the encrypted data is significantly improved.
- The technology aims to provide a more robust and secure encryption/decryption process.
- The specialized key generated through this method ensures that the encrypted data remains protected from unauthorized access.
- This innovation can be applied to various computer systems and networks that require enhanced data security.
Original Abstract Submitted
Computer technology for combining an encryption / decryption (e/d) key with additional information to obtain a specialized e/d key. The additional information one or more of the following types of additional information: client UUID (universally unique identifier), FQDN (fully qualified domain name), database hardware information, data physical position on the hard disk and/or stored data creation date. By combining the basic key with these kind(s) of operational information and/or software / hardware identifier information, the security of the underlying encrypted data can be meaningfully enhanced.
